Ozblue 4,332 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sandy was ages with me and we both were treated for a deadly cancer so I know what he and his family went through during his battle with that terrible disease.I sat watching the game through our night/morning and I have to say the only other time I was so emotional watching a game at Ibrox was when we remembered the 66 souls who never came home in 1971.I never cried yesterday, but I did lot of reflecting about life.RIP Willian Pullar Jardine; you were not only a great man, you were a brave man.

Rangers#1 5,480 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I cried a lot.When I was at uni I got a job at Ibrox to help me pay my way.On my first day I was so nervous, new job nerves. I was getting the tour of the place and where I would be working.The first Rangers Player I ever met was Sandy, though he was with the commercial team then. He gave me a big smile and shook my hand and made me feel welcome then and there.I went on to work there for 4 years and met many other past and present players and have many fond memories.I think my fondest was of my first day when I met Sandy.I agree with Ally, he was a fine human being.Nice post BNB Had a few tears a couple of times today, was privileged to watch Sandy play and met him a few times, the man was an absolute gentelman.

devref 201 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 no tears for me but I was hit with some welling up. only thing that pissed me off more than his passing was the cunt on sky talking throughout them playing sandy in royal blue when the teams came out.

hummington 52 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was at the game with my my Dad and I turned round to him at one point and he had tears in his eyes. My Dad never, ever shows emotion (good or bad) so it shows how much Rangers and Sandy meant to himJust shows how this game, this club affects us all. The video montage was well put together and then there was the minutes silence which was very moving. I kept my head down - looking at the team and the support was simply too emotional.

Sweetheart 8,458 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Far from making a C' of yourself OP, it guts me when I see a man cry as the tears are always genuine. Sandy was well loved and respected x Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterPerry 472 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I shed a few tears too, had my 5 year old with me today and as we awaited the trophy presentation my mind went back to older times when i was her age and stood aside my dad as the trophy presentation took place. It dawned on me that i was simply there to pass the rangers baton onto my kids the same way my father and his father before him had done.
